I used to work in a consulting firm for import/export driven businesses. Almost every single client was a Boomer who inherited the business from their parents, knew fuckall about business, and spent their time mainlining Fox News and lamenting the laziness of their workers and their general dissatisfaction with trends in America.
The uniform dearth of awareness and irony of their entire existence was astounding. Most, if not all, would be otherwise unemployable personalities, in any other scenario.
I’d say that they don’t remember. They probably did when they first started out. Their first starting out phase was much shorter though.

That’s a class issue, not a generational one. Nepo babies are a thing for all age brackets.
I think that’s splitting hairs. Both things are valid.
